A teenager was found staggering along the road shortly after being raped down a cyclepath.

The 18-year-old woman was attacked in a cyclepath off Haslett Avenue East in Three Bridges at about 11pm on Saturday, May 9.

The victim was found staggering along Haslett Avenue East by a member of the public shortly before 11.30pm after she was raped on a path that meets the main road between Sutherland House and the BMW dealership.

Detectives are currently trawling through CCTV footage recorded in the area to see if it captures the victim or her attacker in the moments before she was raped.

Some of the footage was recorded at Three Bridges station and officers are keen to speak to anyone who was at or near the railway station on Saturday evening.

Officers are carrying out house-to-house inquiries in the area and are also asking residents and businesses in Haslett Avenue East or Worth Road who have CCTV systems to see if they have any footage of a woman matching the victim's description on Saturday.

The owners of any cameras in nearby roads that cover Haslett Avenue East or Worth Road are also asked to check what they recorded on Saturday evening.

The victim was wearing a white cardigan and grey tracksuit bottoms when she was attacked.

Detective Inspector Paddy Mayers said: "There are people who will have passed the victim in Haslett Avenue East or Worth Road and could have seen her.

"They may have also seen the attacker. If you were driving in the area at about 11pm on Saturday and saw anything at all, please contact us.”
